Are these all legitimate websites?

Seems to be a great website if it's relying on reports from a lot of websites online. I like the concept to know if the address is a Address of a scammer.

But still, I'm guessing this is not 100% accurate? or some results could also be manipulated by the scammers? or even the website is own by scammers.

Legitimate websites or not, should you rely on them for your decision-making process? You should NOT.

I don't rely on them, personally. Third-party websites are only for reference and you should NOT solely rely on them. The scam tag, check progresses and their algorithms are unknown. Even when they publish those algorithms pubicly, we should still NOT rely on them.

Further expansions: Investors can visit coinmarketcap.com, coingecko.com, messari.io and many other crypto market sites but if one simply relies on a single site to make an investment decision, they will end with bad someday.

Use any sites you want with your own due diligence and be aware of phishing, scam sites. Always do your own meta-analysis for your decisions.

Got your point, it's not really recommended to use this kind of BTC address checker, or maybe you could use it for some reason but do not really totally rely on the website.

At least for some newbies or your just new in trading, cryptocurrency, etc. you could use it to get some info but do not rely on the website, do your research, etc.

Bitcoinwhoswho.com will fail to be antiscam bitcoin we are lazy to search and learn.
1 erro case and will all users.
We cannot define fraud and errors can occur and cannot be verified until after it has occurred.
fraud occurs due to the ignorance of those who were deceived and their failure to do the simplest things such as searching for Google, verifying information, or asking a family member and relatives.

It's important to understand that just because an address isn't in this public scam list, it doesn't mean that it's not a scam. In fact, I never use these scam verification services, because you just need a good common sense and a bit of experience to avoid scams. If you are dealing with a person, try to use escrow service, if it's a service, thoroughly research their reputation. Anyone can create as many addresses as they want, so only bad scammers are reusing their addresses.

Yesterday, the thread This is SCAMALERT was released.
Some other sites:

In the past, I spent time to create the thread Where and how to check a bitcoin address is used for scam purposes?

I also requested it Tag and scam report buttons. How do you think bitcoin developers?. After months and think of it repeatedly, I believe the feature is not needed.

There are the same topic or thread release and one of our members mentioned it and I think it just needs to post to that thread so we are avoiding having a duplicate of threads

You can suggest or advise people from time to time but in any topic area, there are new people will create new threads about the same thing, even their threads have lower quality than available ones. There are many reasons:

They've known about available threads but ignore it and create new ones to hope merits will come to them. They are lack of creative ideas for something new.
They don't know about the forum's Search page

A Complete Guideline to use forum search button properly

I just quite confusing how to they record all of the information if the addresses do they have an API of the blockchain or any platform that's why they have the record.

Also is this a reliable source and secured? and what if the person or the owner of the address just a mixer or used a mixer to avoid getting too much information came from the main account and just hide the transaction with the particular address.

Such sites for Bitcoin scam checking are third-party ones and of course there are good and bad you don't actually know. The same goes for rankings on gambling, casino review sites or marketcap sites. Their ranking algorithms are secret things and you will never know how they rank casinos, projects or verify bitcoin address's scam accusations. Their info can be right or wrong and their info can be distorted by their shady purposes or by purposes of people who hire them to do so.

it sounds good in theory but in reality these things are never good.
for starters nothing is stopping this site from accepting a bribe from the actual scammers and list an address as belonging to a legitimate business while in reality it is a scammer behind it all. this is basically the same flaw as the ICO benchmasitestes that all turned into scams themselves setting out to make money not help people.
secondly bitcoin address is not something that should be reused and in most scam cases it is not. so there is no way a database could recognize all of them.

I agree with you. If ones address moves from its wallet down to another sort of unsecured so call private website like this, might result in extortion of owners data and use it against them please beware this mifr might be "A wolf in sheep clothing" system

This kind of feature should be integrated into every wallet so to alert the sender before sending funds. Something similar exists in net banking when filling out payment orders. But since it is possible to generate an almost unlimited number of new addresses, I believe scammers would quickly come up with a way to bypass such a check as well.

One way or another, this site can give you an idea if you are dealing with dubious individuals, if you can get a hit. Better than nothing, I guess. But we should always make a research if we are in doubt for something. Google is always by your side anyway.

Actually it is quite helpful however how can we know the authenticity of the site like what engine they are running to locate such dubious addresses. Also its run by a company, like mentioned aboved we are not sure if they are just being bribe to have something to lay off on public but clearly the address was clean and just being accused of.

Thanks for sharing OP some might have good vibes about it but of course there is always what if on this kind of sites offering a noble one to seek the scammers.

The only thing that bothers me is that how would it know how many times an address shown across the entire world wide web? (It was indicated in the image that it shows how many web appearances) This could be great, but the features seems suspicious. Even block checkers cannot know when an address is shown on any websites.

But IMO, this is legitimately better..

There is a similar website but it is much better than the one you have listed. It is known as https://scam-alert.io/....

As it only features addresses that had been reported by various users with some initiative investigation from its developers as well.

This works well for phone numbers. Much like there's yellow pages, several websites exists in every country to track scammer or annoying phone numbers.
It makes more sense in that setting because phone numbers are more scarce and not free to get.
With bitcoin addresses, there's an astronomical number of them and it costs nothing to generate millions of them. Any scammer following even the most basic guidelines to stay anonymous would know this and never use the same address twice.

In my own opinion this type of program can help us to defined if there is something wrong with the addresses that we are transacting especially btc address. So far this a good program that ive seen to prevent a scam a long with the cryptocurrency world. Because today there are some groups of people are using different kinds of address to remain anonymous. So hopefully this program can help us

Go to this link: Bitcoinwhoswho.com

You can paste the btc address here if you have a doubt on it before transacting.

After you paste it the result will be like this it shows you the Scam alert note, BTC Address, Website appearance, Wallet name, Last transaction Ip, etc. in this case you can easily track the address that you are transacting.

This program are real time because they are showing the latest scam report.

I really like the characteristic of this program they have bitcoin address looked up, checker, and block explorer

I am hoping that everyone can use this in a goodway keepsafe and have a niceday!
